About This School

The average net price after financial aid is $5,115 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $47,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,115 per year after aid and a median debt of only $8,846 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere.
